I met Joyce not at SUMC, but shopping at Big Lots after Church. We found a common bond of a good sale. This beautiful spirit gave us so much of her self, with her gifts, her kind words and beautiful smile . RIP my friend
My beautiful friend Sonia. My heart goes out to you and Michael during this difficult time. Mom is with her Heavenly Father now, where there’s no more pain. She will truly be missed, but she will forever be in the hearts of a lot of people.
I worked with Joyce for many years at Gwinnett Medical Center, where we became very close. I referred to her as “mama”. Her warm, joyful demeanor and kind, nurturing, compassionate nature shined as a beacon of God’s love to her patients and coworkers. Our relationship continued beyond her retirement and I will miss her greatly, while at the same time I rejoice over her entrance into God’s eternal glory.
Sorry to hear this Sonia, may God give you and family the fortitude to bear this loss. Innalillahi wa innaillahi rojihun. To God we belong and unto Him we shall return. Pls take care of yourself. We love you and we appreciate your love and support of RHF .(Remi Hinton Foundation). ❤❤????????????
